I just got back from a funeral. A good friend of mine lost his wife to cancer. They never complained. But they asked that each day we should count our blessings. And we should. So every day for them, please take a look around and see how good we have things. And take time to appreciate the wonders of nature and the world we live in.

I agree with you Izz and I'm so sorry for your loss - it's so sad. As I get ready for this upcoming trip I will remember this and remind my trip partners.

Thank you for sharing this and reminding us.

Talk to you in a week :)

Hey Izzy,My Dad used to have a tin plate hangin in his office...here is what it said""And when the one Great Scorer Comes to Score against your name...Itmatters not that you won or lost, but how you played the game"We all go through life pretty much under the "same rules" It's tought to lose friends or wife's of friends, but the in the end when we meet the almighty it pretty much matters how we played the game.Thinkin of U,SunCatcher

Dad Always said "We don't Always catch fish...but we ALWAYS have a good time"
